About

Pep’s salad tapa is a delicious blend of hot, garlicky dressing with crunchy lettuce and meaty sausage slices. In Catalonia, embutidos (cured sausages) vary considerably in shape, size, texture and flavour, so try as many examples as you can - from salami to chorizo.

Method

Pull the endive apart and put the leaves in a bowl or on a serving platter.
Quickly sauté the garlic in very hot olive oil until golden brown. Season with salt and pepper, remove from the heat and add the vinegar.
Just before serving, pour the hot garlic dressing over the endive and toss it together with the sausage slices.
